Nate Richard builds AI-native software in days, not quarters.
I buildI build AI-native software, end to end.
Founder, AmpForge LabsI ship, verify, and operate the software I build.
I design, build, and operate AI-native products end to end — AmpAuto, Reunly, Detonade, Ardovo, Kilnix, MovePlan — plus Teagan's Crown, a nonprofit I founded for children with special needs.
I take on a small number of consulting engagements at a time — usually a team that needs something real shipped fast, or a founder who needs a product built end to end. If that sounds like your situation, I'd like to hear about it.

Products, not case studies.
Everything below is live or launching. I designed it, built it, deployed it, and still operate it.
Teagan's Crown Nonprofit
A nonprofit I founded for children with special needs — the work I'm proudest of.

LDS Ledger's Design Studio Internal
The in-house design and build system behind every product on this list — how they ship at enterprise grade, fast.
Internal —
Production quality, on a founder's timeline.
Most enterprise teams ship in 8 to 12 weeks. I ship in 3 to 7 days at the same scope and quality, because research, design, build, and verification run as one audit-gated cycle instead of four handoffs.

Modern. Boring where it counts.
AI & LLM Engineering
Production-grade agent systems. Structured outputs, parallel tool-use, retrieval, and prompt design that holds at scale.
Full-Stack Web
Modern React. App Router patterns, server components, type-safe data layers, design systems that ship in a week.
Backend & Data
Postgres-first. Row-level security, realtime, and serverless functions wired to a schema that survives change.
Infrastructure
Boring on purpose. Deploys are atomic, rollbacks are instant, secrets stay where they belong.
Enterprise Systems
Integrations with the systems enterprises actually run — ERP, identity, document control.
Process
Spec-driven development with audit-gated CI/CD. Agentic codegen where it earns its keep, classical Agile everywhere else.
